Way OT--Best 3 album run
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
I'd have to flip the list. Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, Let It Be

Thanks. I couldn't remember what came before Abbey Road and I guess I misread the discography when looking it up. I guess order not considered, I'd still rank Sgt. Peppers over the White Album, but the either way you have a great 3-in-a-row excluding yellow submarine.
Hip hop wise:
Gangstarr: Daily Operation, Hard to Earn and Moment of truth
Outkast: Southernplayalistic, ATLiens, Aquemini
Above the Law: Livin like hustlers, Black Mafia life, Uncle sams Curse, Time will reveal, legends, They had 5 in a row straight fire albums.
Run the jewels: RTJ 1&2 and Killer Mike's RAP music was a great 3 year run. I include RAP music because El-P produced the whole thing.
Wu-Tang Clan: Enter the 36th Chamber, then ODB/Method Man/GZA/Raekwon and Ghostface solo albums then Forever.
Tribe Called Quest: People intstinctive travel's, Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders
Public Enemy: Yo Bum rush the show, It takes a nation of millions and Fear of a black planet.

If sales, a couple tha might surprise are
Those kids from Jersey =- Damn, they've been good to us - The 4 seasons, who at one time had sold more than anyone in history.
Diana Ross w or w/o supremes
Beatles, of course
Bog Seger
Bruce
Elvis
Elton
I don't make them up, jus report them. If you're talking music quality, well that is totally subjective.

hahaha!
Seems like people aren't counting live records (and most of them suck), but Live at Leeds is the one Who record I'd take if I could only take one. And I also love Sell Out, which captures their earlier Mod-influenced stuff. But I'd go with these three:
Live at Leeds, Who's Next, Quadrophenia
The Who really concentrated their best music in a very short span, There are a lot of other acts (Beatles, Bowie, Floyd, Stones) with discographies too long and varied to make a choice. And this is certainly true of most top jazz musicians - just too much output to consider.
Several other great three-record runs:
Radiohead: Bends, OK, Kid A
Elvis Costello: This Year's Model, Armed Forces, Get Happy.
Genesis: Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Joni Mitchell: Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark
Replacements: Let it Be, Tim, Pleased to Meet Me
Springsteen: Wild Innocent, Born to Run, Darkness

Ahh - some of my favorites right there. Primus and ETID!
ETID just put out a new track Thurday - check it out if you haven't yet: https://youtu.be/wY5YoFRUjxs
Can't wait for the new album. Everything they've done since they've started has been incredible.

And seriously one of the best live bands around. I know Muse is in it's own category for amazing live bands - but ETID is definitely the most fun.

There first 2 albums were so dope. I didn't care for Art of War or Ressurection though. Production was weak on those.
Punk in Drublic (1994)
Heavy Petting Zoo (1996)
So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes (1997)

A truly insightful comment. Thank you for sharing.
Just to set the record straight - the masses who loved Licensed To Ill just didn't get Paul's Boutique when it was released. PB was one of the most underrated albums of all time in my opinion. And I'm not throwing any shade at LTI, but after Paul's Boutique came out, I just didn't love it as much. I actually listened to LTI in it's entirety a few weeks ago during a workout at the gym and I still love it but noticed that the tracks with the guitars don't blend as well from start to end with the other tracks like I once thought they did. Could just be me though. I also think you could add Ill Communication to that list.
My contributions:
Ministry - Land of Rape and Honey, Mind, Psalm 69
Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses, October Rust, World Coming Down
Pop Will Eat Itself - This is the Day, Cure For Sanity, The Looks or The Lifestyle
Public Enemy - First Three albums
The Horrors - ALL four albums - any order
Fatboy Slim - Better Living, You've Come A Long Way, Halfway Between
Anthrax - Persistence In Time, Sound of White Noise, Stomp 442
System of a Down - ALL - with or without Steal This!
The Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust, Dig Your Own Hole, Surrender
Slayer - Reign In Blood, South of Heaven, Season in the Abyss
Goldfrapp - Black Cherry, Supernature, Seventh Tree, Head First
KMFDM - Naive, Money, Angst, Nihil
Suicidal Tendencies - Controlled By Hatred, Lights, Art of Rebellion
Kasabian - Kasabian, Empire, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
White Stripes - Any order
Laibach - Kapital, JC Superstars, WAT
I strongly agree with the folks who mentioned Pantera and Muse.
Also - they are not on my list, but I am surprised that nobody mentioned Foo Fighters or Adele. (or maybe they did and I missed it).
Agree with you about Paul's Boutique. It's the only Beastie Boys LP I own. Still have the clear vinyl at home. So experimental, funky and just good old hip hop.
